Star Trek Owners File Amicus Brief Over Klingon Copyright Infringement

A fictional language from a classic SCI-Fi franchise is caught-up in a legal tussle.

More from FOX’s Paul Stevens:

Is this a real language?…

That’s “Klingon” spoken by a race of aliens prominent in the “Star Trek” franchise…

But CBS and Paramount, owners of “Star Trek” are not happy, filing a lawsuit for copyright infringement against the makers of a two crowd-funded, fan-produced prequels, featuring some Klingon…

The “language creation society” filing an amicus brief saying Klingon is a real language that can be spoken and therefore cannot be copyrighted.

Paramount lawyers saying it can be protected because it’s pure fiction and they own it.
